Overview

Istanbul is a photographers' paradise... I can help you capture the best moments of Istanbul in the way you choose. I am not only a professional licensed tourist guide, but also a serious amateur photographer with more than 15 years of experience.
Being in the right place at the right time is important. While good luck always helps, photography also requires careful planning as well as local insight.
As each photographer has their own preferred subject, this private guiding service can be fully tailored to your preferences.
For instance, if you want to focus on Istanbul's bazaars, commercial structures, I can arrange our route accordingly. If you want to focus on Byzantine heritage, that's easy too. Or you may want to visit Istanbul as a part of your YouTube or Instagram project and you want a guide in order to get advice and communicate with locals. I am ready to help. Or do you want a photoshoot? I can help you with my mobile phone.
Let's photograph Istanbul together.
